West Ham boss David Moyes admits he's delighted with their season start.
The Irons sit in fourth place on the Premier League table after three wins and a draw.
"It's been a brilliant start for us," Moyes told talkSPORT.
"We only finished on June 7, we gave the boys extra time off.
"We had booked a trip to Australia which meant we only had three days back before we flew to Australia. So in truth our pre-season was really bog average compared to what you'd maybe expect. But in football you never know how it's going to work.
"We got some players in a bit later but the boys that have come in have been great and the way we have started has given us real confidence - we have won a couple of really big games."
